Day 1 - Friday

I have decided to start a liver cleanse. What is a liver cleanse you ask? Good question, I didn't know until recently myself. This will take gall stones that are being stored in my liver and flush them out via bowel movements. Lovely, eh? These stones are different from kidney stones, which come out through the urine stream and can be quite painful. The liver's purpose, as you know, is to clean and filter the blood. But what happens when the filter becomes plugged up? I'll tell you, eczema and other skin conditions. Thus the cleanse.

So for lunch today I just brought a bag of small baby carrots. The cleanse instructions call for a lunch with zero fat, to help prepare the liver for what will happen next. I haven't been able to eat or drink since 2PM either.

At 8PM I was ready for the next part, which involved drinking a 3/4 cup brew of water, dissolved epsom salts and grapefruit juice for flavoring. Not the kind of drink I would want everyday, but if that's what the cleanse calls for, so be it.

At 10PM I went to the next step and downed a .5 cup of olive oil! Nasty it was! I "chased" that down with another 3/4 cup of the epsom salt potion. I went to bed hoping for the best, was it really going to be this easy? Time will tell.
